A mix of two sets probably recorded in 27 and 28th July 1964.
Various level of video quality.
I could not find "The natives are restless tonight" (may somebody help me)
The band:
Horace Silver (piano), Carmell Jones (trumpet), Joe Henderson (tenor sax), Teddy Smith (acoustic double bass), Roger Humphries (drums).
from the newspaper "Le Monde" dated 27th July 1964:
"Assemblant avec une vigueur parfois furieuse de courtes phrases portées à un haut point d'exacerbation rythmique, Silver traite le piano avant tout comme un instrument de percussion, mais le compositeur est encore plus grand que l'instrumentiste : ses thèmes s'imposent par leur accent de violence, leur couleur à la fois rude et capiteuse, et il excelle à organiser en durée, découpage et ponctuations les interprétations d'un groupe qu'il vient de renouveler judicieusement en faisant appel notamment à Joe Henderson, un saxo ténor inspiré à la fois par Coltrane, Rollins et Yusef Lateef, et qui nous a paru comme la seule révélation de la soirée."
"Assembling with sometimes furious vigor short phrases carried to a high point of rhythmic exacerbation, Silver treats the piano above all as a percussion instrument, but the composer is even greater than the instrumentalist: his themes are imposed by their accent of violence, their color both harsh and heady, and he excels at organizing in duration, division and punctuation the interpretations of a group that he has just judiciously renewed by calling in particular on Joe Henderson, a tenor sax inspired by Coltrane, Rollins and Yusef Lateef, and who seemed to us to be the only revelation of the evening."

this is 2024 and this music is still bad ass as ever!!😮🙏
Love me some Horace Silver, not only was he a fantastic artist, the man was also a fine human being, thank you Sir for your wonderful contribution to our American Art form 👏🏽🙏🏾🕊️
As legendary Chicago DJ would have described it, "twice as nice as a mother's advice!" I saw Horace close up in this time frame, and remember the sweat POURING off of him! He had so much energy, so much musicianship. Maybe ten years later, I was lucky to be the sound man at a Chicago club when Joe Henderson played there. A beautiful cat. It's great to see Carmel Jones and Roger Humphries here, who I never got to hear live.
Oh mannnnnn … You heard the great Horace Silver, live???? Soooo wistfully jealous I am, here …. Thanks for sharing that. Horace: I mean (sounds so disrespectful! 😬): Mr. Silver: You were beyond magnificent. THANKS ALWAYS! ♥️ 🙏🏽
It would be nice to have live releases like this put on CD. Among his peers, Horace probably has the least amount of live material available on CD.
The greatest music to ever exist is Jazz.
This is so amazingly dope!!! Horace is one of my faves. ❤
Has any man ever worked so hard as Horace Silver???
...maybe James Brown, but that's about it.

What’s his name? The bassist who played with Horace. He was also a dee jay on the jazz station in Los Angeles. He told us that he played with Horace Silver and that Horace Silver was a hard driving musician who would put the pedal to the medal and not let up
Well observed! More powerful (and certainly a bit more creative) than a locomotive
!!! or a nuclear reactor ♥️
Horace and Joe. Awesome.
Joe starts out quoting Rimsky-Korsakoff - he just kills me, so goooood!
Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed....he opened quoting Scheherazade...impressive
the soul and blues in this mans attack on the keys is beyond words
The commercials come at really stupid times. Great music.
Yes! Horace! Thank you for posting.🙏 Joe Henderson- chew...BMF
Trumpet player in this set.. wow
Awwh, man...."Pretty Eyes" is sublime!
I love Henderson's quotes of the theme from Scheherazade towards the beginning and the end of the set!!!!
It's like they are playing colors. Some red, some blue...the whole rainbow and it sounds incredible.
Wanderful
Bien évidemment que Henderson est stratosphérique mais avec Carmell Jones c'est la régalade assurée également !
Magnifique Horace Silver!
Merci ebjazz93!
This is absolutely mesmerizing...a nice little surprise him announcing that Que Pasa? had not yet been recorded. Wow.. sounds like this performance with these players was just ahead of the studio recording of the 'Song for my Father' masterpiece (which included these guys). I'm finding my way through the HS catalog. This is just gold!
Horace really plays, man, and that sweat rag's workin' OT!
Incredible
A documentary treasure.
I admire such natural talent! ❤️
Ok, Yes… There are boatloads of natural talent here… But there are also years, years, years upon years… of SUCH Powerful hard work… Practice practice practice and technique, technique… Upon yet even more mountains of: technique being shared here, by these 4 giants (so that it all is able to look this effortless)- - not JUST: talent.
I respect ALL of that!
un moment SUPER JAZZY avec des musiciens AU TOP NIVEAU🤣
Thanks for posting. There’s never enough of sessions like this even though are plenty. These musicians are just so good!!
First item should have been named A Night in Tokyo. It sounded like A Night in Tunisia. In any case, just phenomenal.
Would loved to have heard Wes Montgomery play with Silver!
Wow, didn't know there was video footage of the Horace Silver Quintet with Joe Henderson! Many Thanks!
This is a wonderful edition of the Horace Silver Quintet. Joe Henderson is his usual brilliant self but so is the terrific Carmell Jones. Horace is on fire. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much for confirming Joe Henderson! I've never seen this and I was thinking "that's Joe Henderson, right?" and I'm happy I could spot the man...
man. thank you!
Thank you so much ! They sound so unified!
I appreciate you !
beautiful tones from everyone 🙏🏾
My kind of music, great!!
thanks, great video!!!!
Благодарю,от всей души за отличную музыку,что делитесь с нами.С наступающим новым годом Вас,всем подписчикам удачи,везения!
Merci. Très bonnes fêtes et très bonne année à vous aussi.
A special shout out for Roger Humphries who is at least the equal of Louis Hayes.
Great drummer!
awesome!!!!!
Straight 🔥....smoking
Benditos❤😊
This is burning and that review by the French writer was harsh. Dang!
色付け！これはすごいね。
Joe quoting “Scheherazade in his first solo on “Tokyo Blues”…
Completely sonny
Juan les Pins was “rocking” with this live gig by Horace Silver and his fabulous group. Among the very best of hard-bop Jazz, folks. Get into the swingin’ vibe. Toodeloo’s & Cheers!
Looks like they couldn't find a proper piano bench and had him play from a plywood "Mullca" schoolchair... But no attitude, he just goes for it!
Maybe he asked for it?
👍🏿
😊
Hip stuff
!!!
Mccoy Tyner
Moonlight Sonata, piano players
🫀
I bet the genetically evil treated them bad because they were so talented
Benny Mupin on sax.
Joe Henderson
Joe Henderson on Sax ...................... They don't look alike dude! lol
It’s Joe not Bennie and they did look enough alike to be constantly mistaken for each other. The difference in their playing is unmistakable though and this Antibes set is definitely Henderson. Great Silver archival film.
Silver doesn’t really improvise he just vamps and noodles around aimlessly.
Yet, you and I watch this recording 60 Years later and we are moved by it.
@@abodabalo , No doubt, Sir!
Horace Silver is one of the best improvisers ever. He isn’t “aimless” at all. He clearly builds on melodic ideas. You don’t know what you’re hearing, and so maybe you shouldn’t speak on it.
@@cocomaire you got your own opinion and I got mine. Why bash mine? DH!
@@abodabalo I watched 2 minutes to see the colorization.
